11 weeks? WHAAAAAT? Where is the time going?
Been so super busy. I'm happy for time to go this quickly up until April ;)

After that 9 week 'truck' drove off, week 10 has had me feeling a little better! No nausea like before and my energy levels surprisingly good. It should have me worried but - no. The veins! The bloat and gas, and the BOOBS!!! OMG The BOOBS!! Haha! They have undoubtably grown, and feel more painful and full. I'm almost embarrassed with these nipples - YIKES!
My belly is definetely more round too. Not showing! But the flatness has gone (to me) and some of my jeans dont fit very well anymore. The girls at work reckon they "can tell" but they know I'm pg. I think I've entered the "gee, has she put on a few?" stage... BOO (but I'll take it).
My weight hasn't gone up though so thats ok.

Had the 2nd appt with my GP-OB last weekend. She thinks all's well and normal. It proved how much of a daze I'm in as she asked if I'd had my 10 wk blood draw for the Downs testing....nope - hadn't thought of it :-S
She asked if I'd booked the 12 weeks scan - nope, been meaning to get around to that :-S
She sent me straight to pathology to get blood taken there and then, and said I must call the u.s clinic as soon as I leave....It was like getting told off by the teacher for not doing your homework.....whoops!
All organised now.

Speaking of being in a daze - baby brain much? I was already bad with forgetfullness and clumseyness. But now? Ugh. A good example is driving home from the border last week (up there for work, 3.5 hours from home) and realising I drove the WHOLE way with my petrol cap off and the little door wide open - in the rain... again, whoops!
Or, driving all the way to a salon one day, to do training only to be told the therapists were at my office for the training! I even had it in my diary as them coming to me.... double whoops....
Stuff like that keeps happening :-/

I have been getting much more hungry since I'm not feeling so sick anymore (or atm??). I go from peckish to full ball, stomach churning hunger in the space of 10 min! Still loving all things salty, but I won't turn my nose up at sweets so much anymore. I don't seek such foods, but a bit of birthday cake isn't in the 'revolting' category anymore. I have a weird obsession with avocado. Ideally I would like it with everything! And apples? Never loved them but eating one a day now - aaaaand loving it! My thirst has increased, maybe with all the salt I MUST have....but that = more frequent bathroom trips.

Hmmmmmmm, so 12 week scan booked for the 7th (will be 12+5). I'm headding to Malaysia for work this weekend! On the same day as my team playing in the GRAND FINAL! Will be going to that, coming home, then catching a......UGH......2:40am flight to KL. Will be home by...UGH AGAIN...1:00am on the Friday then my scan on the Monday :)
So much to happen before the scan but I'm sure it will go QUICK!

Hope bub is growing heaps and we see a happy and healthy baby in a few weeks! Nervous but excited :D

Looking forward to my nausea slacking up LOL!! It hasn't yet, even though I'm 12 weeks and 1 day now.... Best wishes with your 12 week scan, SO excited for you!!! You sound SOOOO busy!!! Try to take it easy in-between all that, now! LOL!

Oh, so busy! But I don't want to be running around this much. Maybe my body is trying to tell me something cause I woke up with terrible dizziness today. Pg related or sickness? Staying in bed. Hope this doesnt continue till the trip - oh well...
